9. Goldust And His Total Commitment To The Character
This isnt exactly a road story, but it is bizarre enough to be included in the list. When youre the son of the legendary American Dream Dusty Rhodes, a lot is expected from you, but when Dustin was offered the gimmick of a homosexual freak who painted himself yellow, he went ahead with it. To his credit, he made the Goldust character intriguing, and has arguably portrayed it better than anyone else could have. In the end, he became one of the most interesting characters in pro wrestling, but according to a story, Vince McMahon wanted him to take it up a notch. Vince McMahon is notorious for coming up with some of the most shocking ideas ideas that other people cant even think of. This time, Vince McMahon wanted Dustin to take his character even further, and wanted Dustin to go under the knife. Vince McMahon wanted Dustin to get silicone implants, and Dustin wasnt against the idea! Thankfully, a team of doctors protested against it, and in the end, Vince dropped the idea.
